Fenix HL16 – 450 Lumen Lightweight AAA Headlamp
The HL16 is a simple, lightweight headlamp that runs on three AAA batteries, so you can top it up from any gas station or the junk drawer instead of hunting for a charging cable. At 3.43 oz with batteries and headband, it is light enough to forget you are wearing it on a hike, a camping trip or a power outage walk to the breaker box.
A Luminus SST20 LED puts out up to 450 lumens with a 341 ft (104 m) beam, and a separate red LED gives you a dim light that saves your night vision and doesn't blind the person across the campfire. Two switches keep white and red apart, and an electronic lockout stops it from turning on in a pack. The lamp tilts 60 degrees and the widened, perforated headband breathes better than a plain strap.
Comes with three alkaline AAA batteries. IP66 rated for rain.
